Can you set it for day use (every 3 hours), then before bed change to every 12 hours - then when you get up start again at every 3? No night water.

ok yes yo can do that so when you change it in the evening to every twelve hours it will come on 12 hours from the time you set it

No you can only set one interval for watering and 1 duration of watering up to 3 hours long

That's the biggest problem with this item. You have to be at the time you want and you set the hours you want till the next feeding & turn on. I have 2 units, one set for 1:30 am & pm and the other at 7:30 am & pm. They each lose 1-2 minutes every day & need to be reset at 1:30 & 7.30. Using 2 units at 12 hrs means I only have to fill them every other day. I hope this helps and is not too confusing.

You can set it to run the same 3 hours each day. Although You shouldn't need it to run all day, 3 hours may be a bit short. You will have to start it running the same time as the pump. If you set the time over 3 hours, it will pause due to low flow until the next time the pump starts moving water.

It has a dial for up to 120 minutes...turn the water on and set dial for what amount of time you want the water to run...at the chosen time the unit will shut off the water flow...the dial needs to be set every time you want the water to run...it is not capable of setting a time of day to turn on, that is done by you each time you want to water the grass or whatever...

No you can't! It can be set to time start@end with a maual on off switch it can't be set by day. Hope this helps.

For me 3 give or take on full speed. If I want it to run through the night which I do almost nightly I put it on the 30 second on/off setting and it does run until morning. It sometimes shuts off before I wake up but it is automatic when the water runs out.

Probably you would have to take it off, but there are very few times when you would want to go to that trouble. How often do you have the water on for more than two hours?

Yes. You can set the timer for 1 to 12 hours or to continuous for up to 24. It has automatic cut off when it runs out of water.

Yes - and just a minor correction for Laura J. you can water up to 4 times (not 3) per day/ 7 different days per week. I've had it for about a month now and it's pretty nice. Set it and forget it. BTW for the hose connections I used teflon thread tape to make sure they seal well.

No but you can program it to water every 3rd week, 6am and 8pm. With the odd and even weeks it's a bit more complicated. You must install a jumper wire on pin 3 of the timer chip and connect it to pin 7 of the IC in position J2. After that restart the unit and program the times you want to water.

I think what you are asking is: can you have a pause between stations? Each station (there were 12 on my model) is programed independently of each other. For example, you set the time for station 1 to start watering at 5 AM for 15 minutes on odd number days. Then you can program station 2 to water at 6 AM for 30 minutes on odd days. and so forth, you set the time each station should start to water. In other words, by controlling the start to water time, you can design a pause between waterings to let the well re-charge. You could also have some stations water on odd days and other stations water on even days.

Yes. You can set it inside for up to 1 hour. It's in the menu, so you have to want to change it on purpose.
1442424
yes, I do it every evening (be sure to keep the white tab up for expansion). Provides ice cold water through early afternoon. Hope that helps.

Yes you can but I have to warn you that watering 10 hours daily will significantly increase your water bill.

It will water 4 times a day. The timer works on 15 minute increments only. So you could water for 4 minutes at 6am, then 4 minutes at 6:15am, 4 minutes at 6:30am and 4 at 6:45am. It won't work for 6:00, 6:04, 6:08, then 6:12.

Yes, it will stay on all through a weekend. If you're not using it, I'd recommend unplugging the unit, since it will continue to consume power. There's also a "sleep timer" that allows you to have the unit suspend heating for 6 hours. We set that on at night. By breakfast the water is back to the right temperature.

No. You can set it to start immediately, and only run for X hours, after that it changes to a warm setting. I love it!
